As discussed we saw a problem in multiple interruptions in particular in the infra domain

I will do two things:

  1. Escalate the situation that we are still lacking infra admin ressources in the team, e.g. in the PO on the bench presentation. Ideas: Squad rotation for the next weeks, etc.
  2. Reduce the amount of tickets per priority to reflect the realistic situation. If we have 4 urgent tickets in infra then this is just something we can't effectively work on keeping to our SLOs

Updated https://okurz.github.io/SUSE_QE_Tools_overview_2023-09/ for https://confluence.suse.com/display/qasle/Product+owner+on+the+bench . Will follow-up with this after the presentation.

Already doing so.

Had the "PO on the bench" presentation. Regarding infra admin ressources we should make some noise and invite more for short-term squad rotation to help infra work.

EDIT: 2023-09-13: I also discussed this topic with runger. He will encourage squad rotation into tools team and try to provide according infra-related job positions.
